Hunter Biden, the president's son, was found guilty on three felony counts of lying on a federal firearms application. The verdict is a personal blow to President Biden as he enters the final months of his re-election campaign.
The maximum possible sentence for Hunter Biden's charges could be up to 25 years in prison and $750,000 in fines, although sentencing guidelines typically result in no jail time for first-time offenders who did not use weapons for violent crimes.
Biden's gun case is regarded as the less severe of the federal indictments against him. He still faces serious tax charges connected to his history of crack cocaine addiction, reckless behavior, and excessive spending.
The trial shed light on Hunter Biden's struggles with crack cocaine addiction, irresponsible conduct, and extravagant expenses, narrated by former romantic partners, including Beau Biden's widow. President Biden expressed pride in his son's recovery but ruled out granting a pardon.
